Proactive esophageal cooling during radiofrequency cardiac ablation: data update including applications in very high-power short duration ablation.
Expert Rev Med Devices
December 2024
NorthShore University Health System, Evanston, IL, USA.
Introduction: Proactive esophageal cooling reduces injury during radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the left atrium (LA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). New catheters are capable of higher wattage settings up to 90 W (very high-power short duration, vHPSD) for 4s. Varying power and duration however does not eliminate the risk of thermal injury.

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. Cardiac involvement is a frequent finding in BMD, and manifestations may vary from asymptomatic cardiac involvement to developing symptoms of heart failure and severe cardiomyopathy. We presented the case of a 32-year-old wheelchair-dependent BMD patient who came to our cardiology clinic with a two-month history of heart palpitations, rest and nocturnal dyspnea, fatigue, and generalized muscular weakness.

Article Synopsis
- Premature ventricular beats during pregnancy can lead to serious complications like palpitations, reduced placental blood flow, and risks for the fetus, including miscarriage.
- A case study highlights the successful use of radiofrequency catheter ablation on a pregnant woman with a rare focus of these beats, demonstrating both the challenges and positive outcomes of the procedure.
- The use of fluoroscopy-less ablation is beneficial as it minimizes radiation exposure while ensuring a high success rate and safety for pregnant patients.
Exploring the association of adverse drug reactions with medication adherence and quality of life among hypertensive patients: a cross-sectional study.
Int J Clin Pharm
November 2024
Research Department of Practice and Policy, School of Pharmacy, University College London, London, UK.
Background: Effective hypertension management requires medication adherence to prevent complications. However, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can undermine adherence and negatively affect patients' quality of life. Limited research has explored the association between ADRs, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals with hypertension.
